SCRAPING IMPLEMENT.

Application filed November This invention relates to new and useful improvements in scraping implements and more particularly to a device adapted for scraping walls and the like. One of the objects of the invention is the provision of a scraper oi "the :bove character embodying a receptacle to receive the material scraped loose, so as to prevent scattering of the niaterial.

Another object of the invei'ition is the provision oi? a device of the above character wherein the scraper blade is detruzhably mounted with respect to the receptacle, so that the blade may be i'ised independent of the l'GCQDtZlClG if desired.

With the above and other objects in View the invention consists of the .novel features of construction, the Cl1'1l')lllllil()ll and arrangement ot parls hereinafter more tlully set forth, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying wh ich Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved device.

l igure 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 522 of Figure 1.

l igure 3 is a cross section on the line 33 of lfiigure 1.

deterring more particularly to the acconr panyiugr drawings 1 indicates the body of the U-shaped receptacle, the side walls oi which are cut on an. incline at the open end thereof as shown at 2, while the rear end. is closed by means of the partition vall 3 This rear end wall 3 has an upstanding perforated lug 41- and extending through this lug is the handle supporting rod 5, the inher end of which is headed as at (5 and bears againstthe inner face of the lug, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The rod 5 extends into the handle member 7 a distance suital'ile to properly secure the handle to the receplacle.

Mounted upon the rod 5 and positioned, between the inner end of the handle 7 and the lug l a rubber ring 8 which serves as a buffer :lor the receptacle. The upper edge of the side walls of the receptacle are bent upon. themselves to form longitudinal grooves 9, as shown in Figure 3, said grooves I scraping); surface drawings in extending outwardly beyond the outer sur face ()jli the side walls.

The scraper blade which is iiulical'ed at ll) tapering in form and the walls oi? the body are slightly divergent, as shown in lfiigure 2, so that the smaller end oi 'he scraper may be readily inserted in the grooves 9. The ouler edge of the blade 10 is s.;lm.i" )en.ed so as to 'ii'ovide an eilieieiit and during the operaliou ot the device the action or movement of the scraper will have a tendency to force the tapered end thereof tightly into the divorgent grooves 9, the upper and lower 'laccs oi the blade 'lrietionally engaging the ap posed walls of the grooves sol'hat the blade will l e securely retained in place.

The outer and large end of the bottom portion o l the receptacle 1 is lormed with a. sharpened edge l l, which can be used equally as well as 'l'heculiting edge of the scraper S). will be apparent that in the use oi the device either the cutting edge on. the blade may be used or the cutting edge oil? the receptacle and the loosened particles will be directed into the receptacle instead. of dropping on the 'iiOOl. or other surilal're and the receptacle may be quickly and easily emp tied oil its contents, The device extremely simple in constrilotion and is ellicieut for various While I have shown and dcsmribed the preferred emlmdiment of my invention, it will be apparent that various changes and alterations may be carried. out without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the zppended claims.

l. claim as my i avention:

In a device of the class described, a U- shaped receptacle having one end closed, 1.)e1.'i?oral'ed lug on the closed end. a, handle member secured to said. lug a buli'er member between the handle and log, and a removable scraper blade carried by the receptacle.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this 27th day of October, A. l). 1927.
